I have heard that you have to be careful with the X25. With its short handle it would be easy to hit yourself.
The OP did not specify which Fiskars product, and this thread has centered around axes/hatchets ... and yes, I have a couple of 'em. Have any of you tried Fiskars loppers? I used a buddy's old pair and was thoroughly impressed ... have since bought 3 pair - a standard bypass lopper, a ratcheting anvil lopper, and their telescoping-handle bypass lopper. I now have more Fiskars products than Stihl chainsaws.Cause someone had to do it...

I think the machete`s are made in china, where the splitters are made in Finland.I've got some fiskars axes & hatchets love them. Got a machete awhile back as a gift, edge was done horribly wrong, folded the edge in 4 places first time use. 4 folds in 4 swings couldn't belive it. Will try to post picks of it, hope I can contact fiskars on it for a replacement or something, it was a gift & don't have the reciept. I grabbed my Gerber machete to use on the same limb and it tore through it no problem.
Sears has one that has a 28" handle I believe. that size is not available in the orange handled one...
I have a 6'4" 300+lb guy that works for me. He'd kill a wood maul handle every five cords of wood. He does wood for a side job in excess of 100 hand split cords a year. He's a beast.
I decided to stock the X27's in my store, and bought one for myself. We had about 10 cords to do for our store wood (I heat the store with wood) and was so impressed with it that I loaned it to him. He bought two from our shelf the next day. To this day, 70 cords later, he hasn't broke one yet. They aren't unbreakable, but they are damned tough.

I just broke the handle on my only splitting axe last week. I'm 6' 5" and wondering if the x27 would suit me? I'm saving up money as quick as I can so I can get back to work and need to know if my money would be well spent on one. Thanks.
Thanks, that's just what I needed to know. I'll pull the trigger as soon as funds allow.
